We deeply sympathize with Bro
^ Gmce in the loss of his horse. We
submit a portion of the letter eon- ;
taining suggestions on the subject
of horse stealing.
Station Gkeek, i
Coryell Co, Texas, [
October 3d, 1876. )
Ed. Examiner and Patron
You will please allow me, your
unworthy servant, to drop a few
lines for tho brief .consideration of
onr Brother PatroBS.
1st. Is the question of' horse-
'• stealing, a question that every hon =
est plowholder vitally interested ui.
Just for a moment think of the
thousands of dollars worth of horp.c
| property that is stolen from the
j farmers every year, and yet. it goes
on, and we have never as yet boen
able, as & State or a people to cheek
in the least this great flow of theft.
I There .have already been many
; ideas suggested by both Grangers
| politicians; but so far as any good
haring been accomplished, 1 have
never been able to see or hear of it,
and it does seem that theie could
steps taken to put and end to so
much horse-stealing. Every one
in his turn has given hisplan or idea
and I would most humbly submit
my plan, thereby hoping to call
out some Brother on the subject,
wnioh may in that event enable us
as a people to settle upon some cor-rcct
plan to save so much expense,
l time and trouble, yea, and the lives
| ot good men as well as bad ones.
There has been for a long time a
law in our State to force men when
selling stock to give a bill of sale,
and to our sorrow we find that said
law is not at all respected] and in
as much as there have been many
suggestions on this subject, I know
of no better plan than to have said
law enforced to the letter, with the
following amendments;
1st. To make it, an indictable
offense for any man living in the
State of Texas to sell a horse with-out
giving a bill of sale, and said
sale to be acknowledged by the
Justice of the Peace where he re-sides.
2d, And, furthermore, the pur-chaser
thereof to be made to pro
duce said bill cf sale when trying
to sell the horse that he had pur-chased,
thereby showing that he
came by the horse honestly. To
illustrate this matter, suppose Mr.
A sells to Mr. B one certain horse,
describing flesh marks and brand,
and Mr. B receiving a bill of sale
and it is acknowledged by the J. P.
the Promotion of the j with seal, then Mr. (, would not ap-
I prehend any after clap or danger
in buying Said horse from Mr. B,
when he could show his authority
and, fuithermorc, being compelled
to do so before Mr. U could notice
any proposition from B, but on the
other bund would straightway have
him arrested for a horse-thief. You
have the idea your humble corres-pondent
sets forth, or tries to set
forth
In conclusion, 1 must say with
reference to myself that I fully be-lievc
thatl would not have been
left here afoot, over 200 miles
fromjjhome, if I had not been re-quested
to lay over another day by
a friend, to give s Grange lecture
which was to have been the night
my’ horse was stolen.
I submit the foregoing remarks,
and if yon deem them worthy a
n place in your very valuable paper,
I would be pleased to see it come
out, if not let this find its way to
the waste basket.

Indiana Mieetion News,
Indianapolis, Ind., October 10.—Reports
from all parts of tbe State show that the
election is progressing quietly, with indicr.
tlon of the largest vote ever cast. The vote
for 1872 for Governor was 877,000, with a
Democratic majority of 1,148. The vote
of 1874 was 447,050, with a Democratic ma-jority
for Secretary of State of 17,250. In
1874 tho Farmers’ candidate for Secretary of
State received 17,233, and 2,297 scattering.
The bulletins which will be sent to-night
will show a comparison with 1872 and 1874.
Detailed reports will give comparisons with
1874, by counties only, tqat being the last
8tate election, and the on’y one in which
three candidates were in the field. There
are ninety-two counties in the State.
Evansville, Ind., October 10.—The elec-tlon
is orderly with a large vote. The
vote cast in the city ia 4994, an increase over
1872 of 429, and an Increase over 1874 of 95.
rllnor Dispatches.
New York, October 10,—News comes from
Cheyenne, Wyoming, that a man named
Rhode, who was herding cattle ou Horse
Shoe river, started north and was killed and
scalped and his ears cut off by the Indians
yesterday. The body was brought Into Fort
Laramie to-day.
Democratic Nomination.
W, R. Steele, who Is now serying second
tern as delegate in Congress from this Ter-rftory
was renominated by the Democratic
Convention last night.
ELEC non NEWS,
The dispatches from Ohio and Indiana
are indifferent and uncertain, and in many
instances indicate only partial return from
counties.
At 10:50 last night indications of Republi-can
gains in Cincinnati and Democratic
gains in Cleveland.
At 1 o’clock this morning the dispatch
from the Republican Executive Committee
of Ohio from forty-one counties shows a nett
Democratic gain of 148 votes on the election
of 1874. Heavy Democratic gains are • con-ceeded
in Cincinnati, Cleveland and other
large cities, Hamilton county, which Is re-garded
as a test county in the State, gives a
Democratic gain on the last election of 16
votes. The following is the conclusion of
the Republican Committee's dispatch:
“ If the rest of the State is the same, the
majority will be cut down to about what it
was last year. Reports generally stow a
Republican gain, while the cities of Cinctn-natl,
Clevelanffand Columbus show Demo
cratic game, It should be borne In mind
that the comparison is made with the vote
of last year, when the Republican majority
was 5,600 This Is the Republican Commit-tee’s
claims, wljle the Democratic Commit-tee
claims the State by a still larger majority.
The returns, however, show the result to be
given at first, above. Each candidate for
Secretary of Stare runs ahead in. his respect-ive
county. In some counties Bames is
scratched on account of his temperance
principles Little can be said of members
Of Congress.save the probable defeat of Ban-nlng.”
• The news from Indiana Is .extremely mea
gre and Indefinite, but according to late it
received (at this writing, 1 o’clock a m.) at
St, Louis and Galveston, ate unfavorable to
the Democracy.
P. S,—Later dispatches, (1:20 a. m.), from
Indiana, Indicate that the State has gone

claims the State by five to ten thou-

Settling « Knotty Account.
A merchant once had a dispute
with a Quaker respecting the set-tlement
of an account. The mer-chant
was determined to bring the
matter into court, a proceeding
which the Quaker very earnestly
deprecated, using every argument
in his power to convince him of his
error; bnt he was inflexible. De-sirous.
to make a last effort, the
Quaker called at his house one
morning, and inquired of the ser-vant
if his master was at home.
The merdiant hearing the inquiry
and knowing the voiee, called out
from the top of the stairs ; “Tell
the rascal T am not at home.” The
Quaker, quietly looking up at him,
calmly said, “Well friend, the Lord
put thee in a better mind.”
The merchant, afterwards struck
with the meekness of the reply, and
having more deliberately investiga-ted
the matter, became convinced
that the Quaker was right and him
self wrong. He requested to see
him, and after acknowledging his
error he said. “I have one question
to ask you—how were you able,
with such patience, on various oc-casions,
to bear my abuse ?
“Friend,” replied the quaker, “I
will tell thee. I was naturally as
hot and violent as thou art. I knew
that to indulge that temper was
sinful, and I also found that it was
unprofitable. I observed that men
in a passion always speak loud ; and
I thought that if I could control
my voice, I should repress my pas-sion.
I have, therefore, made it a
rule never to let my voice rise aboye
a certain key, and by a careful ob-servance
of this rule I have, by the
! blessing of God, entirely mastered
| my natural tongue.”
Suoh good, frank philosophy was
} not lost upon the merchant in many
' years.

No people in the world suffer as much
with dyspepsia as. Americans. Although
years of experience iu medicine had failed
to accomplish a certain and sure remedy for
this disease and Its effects, such as sour
stomach, heart-bum, water-brash, sick
headache, costivcness, palpitation ot’ tue
heart., liver complaint, coming up of the
food, low spirits, genera] debility, etc., yet
since tho introduction of Green’s August
Flower we believe there Is no case of dys-pcpsla
that cannot be immediately relieved.
30,000 dozen sold last year, without one
case of failure reported. Go to vour drug

There is no medicine prescribed by pbysi-dans,
or sold by druggists, that carries euch
eyldence of its success and superior virtue
as Boschee's German 8yrup for severe
coughs, colds ^settled on the breast, con-sumption
or any disease of the throat and
lunge. A proof of this fact If that any per-son
afflicted can get a sample bottle lor ten
cents and try Its superior effcot before buy-ing
the regular 6ize at seventy-five cents. It
has lately been introduced In this country
from Germany, and itc wonderful cures arc
astonishing every one that use it. Three
doses will relieve any case. Sold by J- M.

We deeply sympathize with Bro
^ Gmce in the loss of his horse. We
submit a portion of the letter eon- ;
taining suggestions on the subject
of horse stealing.
Station Gkeek, i
Coryell Co, Texas, [
October 3d, 1876. )
Ed. Examiner and Patron
You will please allow me, your
unworthy servant, to drop a few
lines for tho brief .consideration of
onr Brother PatroBS.
1st. Is the question of' horse-
'• stealing, a question that every hon =
est plowholder vitally interested ui.
Just for a moment think of the
thousands of dollars worth of horp.c
| property that is stolen from the
j farmers every year, and yet. it goes
on, and we have never as yet boen
able, as & State or a people to cheek
in the least this great flow of theft.
I There .have already been many
; ideas suggested by both Grangers
| politicians; but so far as any good
haring been accomplished, 1 have
never been able to see or hear of it,
and it does seem that theie could
steps taken to put and end to so
much horse-stealing. Every one
in his turn has given hisplan or idea
and I would most humbly submit
my plan, thereby hoping to call
out some Brother on the subject,
wnioh may in that event enable us
as a people to settle upon some cor-rcct
plan to save so much expense,
l time and trouble, yea, and the lives
| ot good men as well as bad ones.
There has been for a long time a
law in our State to force men when
selling stock to give a bill of sale,
and to our sorrow we find that said
law is not at all respected] and in
as much as there have been many
suggestions on this subject, I know
of no better plan than to have said
law enforced to the letter, with the
following amendments;
1st. To make it, an indictable
offense for any man living in the
State of Texas to sell a horse with-out
giving a bill of sale, and said
sale to be acknowledged by the
Justice of the Peace where he re-sides.
2d, And, furthermore, the pur-chaser
thereof to be made to pro
duce said bill cf sale when trying
to sell the horse that he had pur-chased,
thereby showing that he
came by the horse honestly. To
illustrate this matter, suppose Mr.
A sells to Mr. B one certain horse,
describing flesh marks and brand,
and Mr. B receiving a bill of sale
and it is acknowledged by the J. P.
the Promotion of the j with seal, then Mr. (, would not ap-
I prehend any after clap or danger
in buying Said horse from Mr. B,
when he could show his authority
and, fuithermorc, being compelled
to do so before Mr. U could notice
any proposition from B, but on the
other bund would straightway have
him arrested for a horse-thief. You
have the idea your humble corres-pondent
sets forth, or tries to set
forth
In conclusion, 1 must say with
reference to myself that I fully be-lievc
thatl would not have been
left here afoot, over 200 miles
fromjjhome, if I had not been re-quested
to lay over another day by
a friend, to give s Grange lecture
which was to have been the night
my’ horse was stolen.
I submit the foregoing remarks,
and if yon deem them worthy a
n place in your very valuable paper,
I would be pleased to see it come
out, if not let this find its way to
the waste basket.

Indiana Mieetion News,
Indianapolis, Ind., October 10.—Reports
from all parts of tbe State show that the
election is progressing quietly, with indicr.
tlon of the largest vote ever cast. The vote
for 1872 for Governor was 877,000, with a
Democratic majority of 1,148. The vote
of 1874 was 447,050, with a Democratic ma-jority
for Secretary of State of 17,250. In
1874 tho Farmers’ candidate for Secretary of
State received 17,233, and 2,297 scattering.
The bulletins which will be sent to-night
will show a comparison with 1872 and 1874.
Detailed reports will give comparisons with
1874, by counties only, tqat being the last
8tate election, and the on’y one in which
three candidates were in the field. There
are ninety-two counties in the State.
Evansville, Ind., October 10.—The elec-tlon
is orderly with a large vote. The
vote cast in the city ia 4994, an increase over
1872 of 429, and an Increase over 1874 of 95.
rllnor Dispatches.
New York, October 10,—News comes from
Cheyenne, Wyoming, that a man named
Rhode, who was herding cattle ou Horse
Shoe river, started north and was killed and
scalped and his ears cut off by the Indians
yesterday. The body was brought Into Fort
Laramie to-day.
Democratic Nomination.
W, R. Steele, who Is now serying second
tern as delegate in Congress from this Ter-rftory
was renominated by the Democratic
Convention last night.
ELEC non NEWS,
The dispatches from Ohio and Indiana
are indifferent and uncertain, and in many
instances indicate only partial return from
counties.
At 10:50 last night indications of Republi-can
gains in Cincinnati and Democratic
gains in Cleveland.
At 1 o’clock this morning the dispatch
from the Republican Executive Committee
of Ohio from forty-one counties shows a nett
Democratic gain of 148 votes on the election
of 1874. Heavy Democratic gains are • con-ceeded
in Cincinnati, Cleveland and other
large cities, Hamilton county, which Is re-garded
as a test county in the State, gives a
Democratic gain on the last election of 16
votes. The following is the conclusion of
the Republican Committee's dispatch:
“ If the rest of the State is the same, the
majority will be cut down to about what it
was last year. Reports generally stow a
Republican gain, while the cities of Cinctn-natl,
Clevelanffand Columbus show Demo
cratic game, It should be borne In mind
that the comparison is made with the vote
of last year, when the Republican majority
was 5,600 This Is the Republican Commit-tee’s
claims, wljle the Democratic Commit-tee
claims the State by a still larger majority.
The returns, however, show the result to be
given at first, above. Each candidate for
Secretary of Stare runs ahead in. his respect-ive
county. In some counties Bames is
scratched on account of his temperance
principles Little can be said of members
Of Congress.save the probable defeat of Ban-nlng.”
• The news from Indiana Is .extremely mea
gre and Indefinite, but according to late it
received (at this writing, 1 o’clock a m.) at
St, Louis and Galveston, ate unfavorable to
the Democracy.
P. S,—Later dispatches, (1:20 a. m.), from
Indiana, Indicate that the State has gone

Settling « Knotty Account.
A merchant once had a dispute
with a Quaker respecting the set-tlement
of an account. The mer-chant
was determined to bring the
matter into court, a proceeding
which the Quaker very earnestly
deprecated, using every argument
in his power to convince him of his
error; bnt he was inflexible. De-sirous.
to make a last effort, the
Quaker called at his house one
morning, and inquired of the ser-vant
if his master was at home.
The merdiant hearing the inquiry
and knowing the voiee, called out
from the top of the stairs ; “Tell
the rascal T am not at home.” The
Quaker, quietly looking up at him,
calmly said, “Well friend, the Lord
put thee in a better mind.”
The merchant, afterwards struck
with the meekness of the reply, and
having more deliberately investiga-ted
the matter, became convinced
that the Quaker was right and him
self wrong. He requested to see
him, and after acknowledging his
error he said. “I have one question
to ask you—how were you able,
with such patience, on various oc-casions,
to bear my abuse ?
“Friend,” replied the quaker, “I
will tell thee. I was naturally as
hot and violent as thou art. I knew
that to indulge that temper was
sinful, and I also found that it was
unprofitable. I observed that men
in a passion always speak loud ; and
I thought that if I could control
my voice, I should repress my pas-sion.
I have, therefore, made it a
rule never to let my voice rise aboye
a certain key, and by a careful ob-servance
of this rule I have, by the
! blessing of God, entirely mastered
| my natural tongue.”
Suoh good, frank philosophy was
} not lost upon the merchant in many
' years.

The American People.
No people in the world suffer as much
with dyspepsia as. Americans. Although
years of experience iu medicine had failed
to accomplish a certain and sure remedy for
this disease and Its effects, such as sour
stomach, heart-bum, water-brash, sick
headache, costivcness, palpitation ot’ tue
heart., liver complaint, coming up of the
food, low spirits, genera] debility, etc., yet
since tho introduction of Green’s August
Flower we believe there Is no case of dys-pcpsla
that cannot be immediately relieved.
30,000 dozen sold last year, without one
case of failure reported. Go to vour drug
gist, J. M. Rivelrc, and get a sample bottle
for ten cents and try it. Two doses wilt rc-lieve
you. Regular size 75 cents.
